Halloween
Weddings in Las Vegas
Getting married can
be a scary experience…why not make it a fun one as well?
Halloween ranks as one of the most popular days of the year to
wed in Las Vegas (Valentine’s Day and New Year’s Eve
take the top spots.)
And no where in Las Vegas will you find Halloween playing a bigger
nuptial role than at Viva Las Vegas Wedding Chapel. The chapel
is the creation of Ron DeCar, who has turned two decades of experience
singing in the Strip’s shows into professionally orchestrated
weddings that range from traditional to themed. DeCar does one
of the city’s best Elvis weddings but, this time of year,
it’s Halloween that’s The King here.
“Halloween is very extravagant here,” notes Hope Wiggins,
chapel manager for Viva Las Vegas. “It’s Ron’s
favorite holiday so we do it up. We do all the weddings in a graveyard
scene. “ Couples can even have the Grim Reaper perform the
ceremony.
Halloween
Packages
Viva Las Vegas offers several Halloween packages, depending on
your tastes. The Gothic theme wedding offers you the option
of a ceremony performed by the Grim Reaper or Count Dracula; the
chapel itself is transformed into a foggy graveyard.
More interested in Dracula? The Dracula wedding package
includes touches like black roses, tombstones, and more. Or how
about a little outdoor fright? The Ghoulish Gazebo Wedding takes
place outdoors beneath a frighteningly lit gazebo.
Cult movie fans will have to check out the Rocky Horror Wedding
Package showcasing Minister Frankenfurter (not to mention
RiffRaff, Majenta, and other characters). Frankenfurter sings
“I am just a Sweet Transvestite” for the wedding opening,
followed by "There's a Light in the Frankfurter Castle"
during the lighting of the unity candle. You and your guests (encourage
them to come in costume!) can rock out to "Time Warp"
after you say your I do’s.
Of course, since this is Las Vegas, even Elvis has to make an
appearance. Only on Halloween Eve, you can book the Elvis and
Demons in the Diner Package, taking place in the 50s diner
at Viva Las Vegas.
Viva Las Vegas is also home to Ron DeCar’s Viva Las Vegas
Hotel, which offers many themed rooms. In fact, if the two of
you book a Gothic wedding, you can opt to spend your wedding night
in the Gothic Themed room, complete with a double coffin bed,
blood red velvet and satin accessories, and even a coffin-shaped
tub.
